Towards the end of the story, the narrative jumps a full year to a point where Sir Gawain returns home to Camelot and is not recognized by his uncle, King Arthur. His armor is dented, he is bloodied and near death. The author does not provide an explanation as to why he appears this way. Students will be asked to create an original narrative describing what happened to Sir Gawain during the elapsed time. They should draw on their knowledge of his character based on their earlier reading.
